Galaxi Mini too!

I own a Galaxy Mini too and I just get the same issue while testing Gingerbread 2.3.6 S5570XWKTN; my previous release was S5570XIKQC (2.3.4) where I got easy superuser rights on connection...

Maybe there is something more to check for...

Actually I have two simple workarounds to root, anyway, the working system as explained above:

I flash an old Recovery (2.3.4)! no real need to bump to 2.3.6 other then "on working system" (here there is my one: CODE_S5570XIKQC_recovery.tar.md5)

I flash (my current option) a CWM based recovery (here there is my one, freshly compiled from Mebitek Cyanogen 7.2 Unofficial Source: CODE_S5570CYANO_recovery.tar.md5 - CWM 5.0.2.8)

2.3.6 XWKTN

Testing Gb 2.3.6 XWKTN I got another unusual issue (unconfirmed on the network...):

After root, when I power on the phone I get the binaries

/system/xbin/su

/system/xbin/busybox

always deleted... :confused:

I workarounded it modifying the boot image:

I changed permissions of

/sbin

folder

# ls -l /
...
drwxr-x[B][COLOR="Red"]r[/COLOR][/B]-[B][COLOR="Red"]x[/COLOR][/B] 2 root root 0 Jan 1 1970 sbin
...

to give every user "exec rights" on it, then I put there both binaries!

Eh eh... I know that the system PATH first look there for commands:

# set | grep ^PATH
PATH=[B][COLOR="Red"]/sbin[/COLOR][/B]:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
#

Last:

I also put in 2.3.6 recovery /sbin folder the last "su" binary (source from GitHub)...

On execution I get "SegFault", but Root privileges Anyway:

$ su
Segmentation Fault

...amazing...

The automatic install drivers are messed up on the phone. When I connect it, my computer won't recognize what device my phone is so it shows up as "Unknown Device". Therefore, I can't manage my media or upload crap onto my phone. Is there any way to completely re-install the whole OS on my phone? I've done a factory reset, no luck.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
ok guys im back with a g2x.. had a nexus s there for awhile. anyways i trade my nexus s for the g2x in perfect shape but i noticed under the screen has 1 spec of dust and what looks like to be a few fingerprints or something. not sure what it is but i dont think this phone has been taken apart. is there away i can find out? the good thing is that this phone doesnt really have any screen bleeding which is awesome. the guy said he had this phone for 4 month and he was an older guy that didnt seem like he knew a lot about phones. lol i will post pics and u can kinda see what im talking about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] le66450146:
looks like a replaced lcd display, not sure about that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
well i was gonna have tmobile replace it but i dont know if it has ever been taken apart. the good thing is the phone has no screen bleeding lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Are those scratches?!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
No screen bleeding sounds like a custom job. If you get another one, it'll have it.... some worse then others. I've swapped a few and screen bleed has all varied. My original was the best but the GB updater killed it. The second replacement I sent back because the bleed was so bad. The third was a little worse then my original, but by then I had 2 tiny scratches... so it was a good trade off.

Dust and a fingerprint would have me swapping it out.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Looks like scratches.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
yeah it has a few good scratches going down the middle of the screen and u only see it when the screen is white. looks pretty bad thought and there are a lot of scratches underneath the screen. then in two corners it looks like a smug of a finger print and there is one piece of dust that stands out when the screen is white (like for a text message) it drives me nuts. tmobile said they will replace it but i dont want them charging me money if they find out the phone has been opened up to replace the screen. i never did it but whoever did failed so bad it wasnt even funny. i didnt noticed any of it until i was in a dark room. in the sun light i dont notice anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
yeah they are. most are underneath the screen too which made me think the lcd screen has been replaced.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
A factory phone would never have dust or fingerprints under the screen. The phone had to at the least have been taken apart and then carelessly handled before being put back together. When I tear down phones for repair I am extra careful about blowing out all dust and cleaning the inside of the screen (and try to never touch it).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
damn i wish u would have fixed whatever was wrong with this phones lcd. cause whoever did it sucked ass seriously lol. the dude failed to tell me it was taken apart. he said he has it for, 4 months and had no issues with it. which i havent had any reboots or screen bleeding but the dust and smug is driving me nuts lol. unless its a refurbished g2x but i doubt they would have done a ****y job like that. but how do u even fix the screen bleeding?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Screen bleed cannot be fixed. It is an inherent design flaw of iPS displays. Some have it worse than others, but they all have it to some extent.

The only way to fix the smudges, etc. is to get a new digitizer and do a clean job of replacing the top part of the phone that the digitizer is attached to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Specs of dust under the screen unfortunately seem to be an LG issue anyway, doesn't necessarily say the digitizer/glass has been replaced.

I bought my G2X brand new from T-Mobile, opened the box myself. And there's a piece of dust under the "back" touch button, at the top of the arrow. Bugs me now and then, but at least it's not on the main screen.

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Ignore that, read my signature first

You should First try the three button restart, which is volume up + volume down + power button

then try adb restart....(see Sig) you'll need adb and drivers installed

If that doesn't work then and only then remove battery

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Are you having a particular issue? Our preparing for when you come across one?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
+1. The three button restart and adb are handy. But more often than not, in a system freeze, both become unresponsive and a battery pull is the only remainnig option...you could use that as a final resort, as suggested by most members on our forums.

Or simply do what i do, if battery pull is the only option remaining... which is to still not pull the battery!!;)

I just leave the phone aside and forget about it. Ususlly, in about half an hour or so, it reboots on it's own. It sounds counter-intuitive, i know, but this happens, probably because i've had the patience to actually let the phone sit untouched without fidgeting around.

Sometimes it doesn't reboot on its own. In those cases, i just let it sit there and allow the battery to run out (it will discharge to 0% at sometime you know; we're not using nuclear power for cellphones just yet!!)

Once it switches off after running out of power, you can connect it to the charger and reboot into recovery and do what needs to be done.

In my experience with flashing ROMs and other add-on stuff, which i do all the time, i've encountered system freeze in new and beta builds a total of 8 times. In 5 of them, the system froze while booted up into a ROM, and the first phenomenon that i have mentioned above, happened, i.e an auto-restart in 30-60 mins. On the other 3 occasions, incompatible beta flashes rendered phone unresponsive at HTC splash screen and i had to wait it out before the phone discharged itself, and then i picked it up from there.

It does take a little patience, but after knowing full well that a battery pull often results in permanent damage to the DS, it would be really foolish and cavalier on anybody's part to do it, just because you can't wait a few hours! Saves you a lot of sleepless hours later on, posting "HELP" threads all over xda and haggling with HTC support.

I still stand by this method, and absolutely condemn battery pulling. It is not justified on the DS for whatever reason you may think of! But hey, it's your phone, so do want you want with it. I'm secure in the knowledge that with this technique, mine is 100% safe...:D

PSXPeria no longer works after the 2.3.4 update, so unless you intend to stay on 2.3.3- it's no use anymore. But FPse works perfectly for me with every game i have tried.

There is an emulator for GBC and GBA, Tiger also have a beta NDS emu out.

It's more than enough, all the gameloft HD games work perfectly. Remember the play is one of the only phones on the market with dual channel DDR2 ram.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brendy1986:
Hi Guys,

First query I have had to post... normally all the answers are here :)

Ok, I have the SGS2 and on occasions while in my pocket it makes the notification sound that a USB cable has been connected (as its in my pocket there is no USB connected.. )??

The phone has had hardware changed by myself and working fine, the phone may have been exposed to some mild steam but by now should have been well dried out and im confident that this isn't the problem.

Sometimes the SGS2 gets quite erratic thinking its connecting and disconnecting after powering off the charge icon shows with a warning symbol (yellow triangle with exclamation mark) along with what looks like a temp gauge. I have reverted to unrooted official software and am still having the problem.

Anyone seen or heard of this, any ideas..... im worried

This has been going on for about a month but I finally decided to try to fix it.

It started with my phone seeing my home network. It says "remembered" but it gets stuck in an endless loop of "Connecting, disconnected." It cycles so fast between the two that if you blink you'll miss it.

Things I tried:

-Forgetting the Network(doing this made the problem even worse, I'll explain later)

-Power Cycling everything

-Fxr and other wifi utilities on the market

-Battery pulls

-Factory reset

Since I did the forget network option the network at my home no longer shows up, along any other network I'm around, open or not. It just scans and never finds anything. I can be standing right next to the router and the phone doesn't know it's there.

So my next steps were these:

-Rooted phone

-Deleted bcm_supp.conf in the wifi folder with the wifi off. Didn't change anything.

Got some results when I deleted bcm_supp.conf with the wifi turned on, cleared phone cache, turned wifi off and then turned it back on. At that point the phone could finally see my network again but I was back to the connecting, disconnected problem I started with. That's the only way I can get it to see networks but it still won't connect.

I've all but given up and hoping someone has other suggestions. :confused:

The HD2 Leo512mb i have had to be placed in such a way so the pins on the usb connector had connection to the main board, and data no longer worked. So I opened up the phone and found out that the usb connector was impossible to solder back on, so in that case I would have to order a new one.. Instead, i soldered the power from a usb cable directly to the main board on the phone and put it back together..

Booting up, it stops at the android logo...

If i try to hold down the power button to install a new rom in recovery from a zipfile, this message comes up

It flashes showing that screen for 1,5s and the recovery boot screen for 0,5sekond

I put the initrd-latest.gz downloaded from XDAndroid initramfs, renamed to initrd.gz to the root of the sdcard, and the last line of the loading changed to ''SD kernel open failed'' (no ss first)

I have aMAGLDR V1.13, Build Feb 1 2011 installed, and some Nandroid Cyanogenmodrom installed before it crashed. Doublechecked that everything is properly connected back again..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bipinsen:
How about booting into the tricolor boot screen (Vol down + Power) and loading a stock T-Mobile Winmo rom? That will pretty much take out any SD card issues or Android related issues. If the rom flashes and the phone boots up, then there is something else going on.

But am I reading this right? Your usb connector is messed up? In that case, still try loading a stock winmo rom from a freshly formatted sd card. Instructions for doing that are easily found by search.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ededed:
Correct! So i only have the charging part, and that makes flashing WinMo with the tricolor boot screen hard..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bipinsen:
Here are the instructions for how to flash a standard winmo rom using the SD card from this thread. Download the stock rom for your phone, and give it a try.

Flashing Via MicroSD Card

NOTE (PLEASE READ): If you flash a Stock Rom via microSD Card then it will overwrite your HardSPL with a stock SPL included in the nbh file. This does not apply to custom roms as they do not include an SPL. BE CAREFUL!!

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)

2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh

4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card

5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone

6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top

7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update

8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
